title: An AC voltammetry approach for the detection of droplets in microfluidic devices.
abstract: A simple electrochemical method using ac voltammetry to detect aqueous droplets up to 480 droplets per second in a flow-focusing microfluidic device is presented. The method offers a promising and versatile platform with simple and inexpensive instrumentation for droplets real time detection and preliminary characterization.
